When it's dark, look for stars.
We're looking...
Happy birthday, Hallie! She enjoyed two sweet celebrations with her dance friends (one with her birthday buddy, Abby) in the days prior, and then had a simple yet lovely birthday. The additional celebrations we had planned felt different than we had intended, but Hallie and I went ahead with our joint haircut/color appointments and shopping trip and then she had her besties over for dinner, an outdoor movie, and a sleepover.
Hallie and I walked (after attempting to bike and discovering that my bike tire had a hole in it) to the donut shop for breakfast. |

My first attempt at the watercolor frosting technique. |

The picture of Hallie blowing out her candles and these wrestling pics are the only ones I took. Proof the night happened, and that these relationships are good for Hallie's heart and soul. |

On Hallie's birthday we hosted a sprinkle - to celebrate the impending arrive of baby #2 - for one of Hallie's dance teachers.
Hallie made it to the diapering finals, where good fun was had by all...except maybe the babies. |
Their winning crawling, diapering, bib-attaching, bottle-drinking team. |
Sweet friends. |
Congratulations, Ms. Christi! |

I'm extraordinarily grateful that while the Ballet Babies have given me quite a few new gray hairs and required me to get up at 3am every night for nearly three weeks, they're (s...l...o...w...l...y but surely) heading in the right direction. They are ridiculously adorable, and tremendously social and friendly - all three are going to make amazing pets when they're ready to be adopted in a few weeks.
This is what meal time looks like. |
It's a mess...five times a day (including at 2:30/3am - I'm tired), times three kittens. |

Adagio has decided that the hole between my legs is the best spot to snuggle, and he's willing to fight for it. |
MINE. |
It's like King of the Mountain, except the Mountain is Erin's Lap. |

My new Easter door decor - thanks, Mom! |
Finally. |
They're beautiful! Not very tasty though... |
The kids and I played in the sprinklers - football, basketball, disc golf, and obstacle courses - for more than an hour after Tom worked on them. I shouldn't do obstacle courses anymore... |
That's all I've got this week, friends. Working my way back to five.
